Biden on debate moment: ‘I heard and I listened to and I respect Sen. Harris’

Former Vice President Joe Bidenon Friday defended his civil rights record the day after California Sen. Kamala Harrisassailed him over race and busing in a Democratic presidential debate.

“I heard and I listened to and I respect Sen. Harris,” Biden said at a Rainbow PUSH Coalition event on the west side of Chicago. “But, you know, we all know that 30 seconds to 60 seconds in a campaign debate exchange can’t do justice to a lifetime committed to civil rights.”
